BIOFERTILÃ

BIOFERTILÃ project

Operation code: COMPETE2030-FEDER-02974100
LISBOA2030-FEDER-02974100
Programme: COMPETE 2030 — Innovation and Digital Transition Programme · Lisboa 2030
Beneficiaries: Lost in Cloud; Solutopus; Vivid Foods Farms; Universidade de Lisboa — FCUL
Objective: BIOFERTILÃ aims to develop an innovative, multifunctional biofilm to mitigate climate change, reduce the use of plastics in agriculture and add value to waste and by-products. This biodegradable biofilm will act as a soil-covering mulch, replacing conventional plastic films. It will use agricultural and forestry residues and unused wool to obtain biochar, inoculated with microorganisms and finished with biodegradable resins, to achieve physical properties similar to plastic and a storage life of more than one year.

AgAPP-e

AgAPP-e: Digital Analyser of Agricultural Production, for phosphorus-use efficiency

Operation code: COMPETE2030-FEDER-01399900
LISBOA2030-FEDER-01399900
Programme: COMPETE 2030 — Innovation and Digital Transition Programme · Lisboa 2030
Beneficiaries: GLOBAZ, S.A.; Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa; SOILVITAE, LdaAn operation of Soilvitae, Lda, whose research and development establishment, together with its projects, was transferred to Lost in Cloud, Lda in February 2026. Beneficiaries as stated in the approved operation sheet. An international project of the EUREKA network.
Objective: To improve production and environmental protection, fertiliser management should be local or site-specific; agricultural efficiency can be quadrupled when flows and reserves are well observed. Farmers, however, lack diagnostic tools geared to specific treatments. AgAPP-e aims to automate fertiliser recommendations, improving precision and increasing phosphorus efficiency.

BioNIR

BioNIR: Determining soil properties using visible and near-infrared reflectance spectrometry

Operation code: CENTRO2030-FEDER-02191900
Programme: Centro 2030 — Centro Regional Programme
Beneficiaries: SOILVITAE, LdaAn operation of Soilvitae, Lda, whose research and development establishment, together with its projects, was transferred to Lost in Cloud, Lda in February 2026. The assignment of the contractual position has been requested from ANI; beneficiary as stated in the acceptance agreement. Implementation period: 1 June 2025 to 1 June 2027.
Objective: The strategic goal of BioNIR is to create a service based on data obtained by reflectance technology between 200 and 2500 nm, allowing farmers (and other users of soil and plants) to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between agricultural practices, soil and plant health, and ecosystem services. Its strategic objectives are to calibrate Vis-NIR sensors for various soil types, crops and ecosystem services, and to build the models and algorithms best suited to Mediterranean soil conditions, so as to provide real-time data to everyone who needs it (with a strong focus on agriculture) to support their decisions.
